    I'm preparing to take the Adwords Certification. I already read all the staff from Adwords Learning Center and watched the Adwords online classroom.

    If someone have toked the Exams this year, can give me some information from inside (sample questions).

    Thanks.

    I really don't know how to tell you, if you take fundamental exam, you can go to ipassexam.com, it's useful. however, other part of this website is not as good as you expect.

    Took the Fundamental and Search exams a few months ago, if you have practical knowledge and experience of using the system most of the questions are not to bad.

    I found the main problem was the wording of some of the questions (like the old exams) they are all multiple choice questions however some have 2 answers that are obviously wrong and then 2 that are worded slightly different therefore I found answering some of the questions was a 50-50 guess.

    I got 92% and 85% so I suppose I guess right most of the time ;)

    Ive takes the test a couple of months ago. If you have read up on the learning center, then that should be enough. Everything is taken from there and external referring is necessary. I scored an 89%. :)

    I took the exam about 2 years ago so maybe it's changed since then but from what I remember it's very basic and just going through the adwords learning center is enough. There were some oddly worded questions where for e.g. none of the options were correct or multiple options were correct but you could only select one. Overall though it's pretty easy and doesn't require much study at all because it's "open book" so you can always check the learning center if you've forgotten something

    You cannot check unless you have two computers - you have to take the test in a browser you download from Google - it works in full scree mode and doesn't allow you to access your computer whilst taking the test.

    People actually take certifications for adwords? Just another way for people to capitalize on people I guess...

    It will be really good if we really open an account with adwords and try a few campaigns. Through lessons from learning center you wont be able to imagine how the adwords is all about. For me I use 75 USD coupons and really tried out. I passed the exam because of the real account.

    Hiya,

    I've done the exams quite recently. And passed :)

    I've been doing exams like the Google ones for years. They are multiple choice so the key is to first eliminate answers which are wrong and then decide on what you have left. One of the biggest problems with the exams is that some of the questions are vague or badly worded which sometimes leaves you with 2 possible right answers. You then have to try and think about what Google are getting at, which may be different to what you would do in the real world.

    They also lock your screen so you can't browse the web while doing the text. I recommend getting a second computer and or an iphone and looking up any question which ask for specific details or numbers (like what are the payment options, or how many adgroups are you allowed etc).

    You'll be fine :)
